== Week 1==

During the first week we orientated our self with the project. Especially on the expectations of the project and how to present the work.

6

For this we had to learn how to use the XWiki platform and registered for the Interactive Robotics platform.

We also came up with a use case and scenario, and picked the robot that we thought could fit best, namely the NAO in combination with a tablet application.

My personal assignment this week was to work out the use case and put it on the XWiki page. I also looked into the Choregraphe system for controlling the NAO robot as the Interactive Robotics platform besides not being fully English also seemed to restrict some of the functionality that would be desired by our use of the robot.

== Week 2==

In the second week we picked up speed and started working on the Foundation pages and created the planning page. We split the group up into 3 smaller teams of 2 persons each which was possible as the other groupmate Kexin chose to leave the course. My team, Dongxu and me, worked on the two technology pages. While working on both the Music Management and Humanoid Robot page we had to come up with some specifications that where not previously discussed with the team. Therefore for next week we plan on discussing these concepts in order that the other pages wont deviate from our pages.

== Week 3==

15

During week three we learned about user stories, design patterns and ontologies. We continued with our strategy of splitting the group into smaller teams to complete different parts of the required work. This meant that I with my sub-team got to work on the ontologies and design patterns. We also picked a date with our team and then booked lab time on that date to work with the NAO robot next week. Therefore, I continued with testing different Choregraphe functions in anticipation of working with the real robot.

== Week 4==

18

During this week I worked on parts of the final evaluation on the XWiki, however the lack of precise ideas about the type and extend of our evaluation prevented the creating the exact specifications for the evaluation. Furthermore I worked on the slides for the presentation next week and attended the lectures. We also set up a timeslot in the INSYGHTLab to work with the NAO robot. The prepared Choregraphe program did unfortunately not work as expected when ran on the robot. However, as we started fairly on time, there still was development time ahead to work on a better implementation.

== Week 5==

21

During a large portion of this week I unfortunately had corona, therefore I missed the presentations in this week. I did work on the parts of the presentation that were subsequently presented by Dongxu. At the end of the week on Friday I did get to go out of self isolation and was present to work on the robot prototype. However, there were still difficulties with getting the robot to consistently act as wanted and with getting the speech recognition to work accurately.

== Week 6==

24

This week I attended the Monday lecture about inclusive design, we also started with planning for the final evaluation and created a planning for how the final few weeks of the course should look for our team to finish everything on time. From this planning I was assigned to write 3 foundation XWiki pages together with Andrei.
